Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cold solution of 5.26 g of 3,3-dimethylbutylamine and 21.0 ml of triethylamine in 180 ml of methylene chloride was added dropwise a solution of p-neopentylbenzoylchloride in 20 ml of methylene chloride. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours and diluted with water. The organic layer was washed with 3N hydrochloric acid, water, 1N sodium hydroxide, brine, dried, and evaporated to yield a solid. The solid was recrystallized from ethylacetate:hexane to yield N-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-4-(2,2-dimethylpropyl)benzamide as a beige solid, mp 124°-126° C.
